Department Profile

Department of History

           Since the very inception of Mariani College in 1966, the Department of History has been performing as one of the major departments of this premier higher educational institution of Jorhat District, Assam. This department started offering Honors/Major programme in 1978 along with General/Pass Course in History.

           It was primarily due to the efforts of Late Hari Prasad Neog, the then Principal of Mariani College and dedication of Mr. Biman Borborah, the Department of History was started. Mr. Biman Borborah served as the first and the only teacher of this department till 1971which was indeed a challenging task. In 1972, Mr. Borborah left Mariani College and joined the neighbouring N.N. Saikia College. Gradually, a number of  new teacher were recruited to fulfill the expectations of the increasing number of students of this department. Mr. Ananda Saikia joined the Department as faculty in 1971 and served here till retirement in 2005. The Department got the third teacher when in 1974 Mr. Maheswar Borah joined and played vital role in introducing B.A. Honors Programme in History. Mr. Borah continued his service in this institution till retirement in 2009. In 1984, Mr. Ranjan Goswami joined and served here till 2016. Due to his efforts, the History Department introduced Tourism and Travel Management Course to facilitate career opportunities to the interested students. At present, the Department has four full time faculties. Mr. Lachit Gogoi, Associate Professor as well as present Head of the Department, has been serving in this college since 1992.
